I am aware of that particular section of road. I visit Western Australia regularly and obviously I travel from the airport to the city. I have had discussions with Minister MacTiernan on a number of occasions in relation to this piece of road. I have to make it very clear that the AusLink network was decided in consultation with and on recommendations from the state governments. We put out a white paper. There was extensive consultation with the state governments. They listed their priorities at the end of the day and they accepted the AusLink network.
